Answer:

p =2 p=-18

Step-by-step explanation:

|p+8|

-------------- = 5

Multiply each side by 2

|p+8|

-------------*2 = 5*2

|p+8| =10

There is a positive and a negative solution

p+8=10 p+8=-10

Subtract 8 from each side

p+8-8=10-8 p+8-8=-10-8

p =2 p=-18

A stretched spring has a length of 12 inches when a weight of 2 lbs is attached to the spring. The same spring has a length of 1

Advocard [28]

The way I figured this one out was saying that if it takes 2lbs to stretch it to 12 inches and 5lbs to stretch to 18 inches that means that 3 additional pounds = 6 inches. Therefore, each additional pound is 2 inches. We know already that with 2 lbs it was 12 inches in length and we can also say that 2 lbs = 4 inches. So subtract 4 from 12 and you end up with the answer of 8 inches.
